EXOTIC!

I just KNOW I am exotic;
I'm a true CALICO:
harlequin face and strip-ed nose,
and diff'rent colored toes!

The NORMAL cat has BORING feet;
the toes all match the same.
But mine are colored diff'rently;
and make me VERY vain!

One's brown, one's black and three are gold;
and I still have 5 more!!
one's beige, one's gray, and three orange--
my feet will never bore!

But, even though my feet are odd,
I'm known for my BEST trick--
I nurse upon my mommy's shirt
'cuz I was weaned too quick.

I'm 10 years old, and you would think
I'd have quit that by now;
but mommy's very nice and she
just doesn't yet know how

to wean me from that odd habit
--besides, I eat cat food!
And, she wants to keep me happy;
my loving attitude!
